(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kathleen Rietz. Twelve desert animals' bathing habits are described, including a roadrunner's dust bath, a scaled quail's ant bath, and a javelina's mud bath. The murky but realistic double-page illustrations show each animal’s technique and setting, from a vulture at dawn to a nocturnal coyote's activities. A fact page and five pages of activities (some good, some lacking) are appended.
